  3. Bear in mind that to enter the Robbins Trading Championship, you need to deposit a minimum of $15,000... the implication of the results being based on participants playing with their own money is that the results reflect the genuine risk tolerances of each player... contrast this with a fictitious trading championship (where you don't actually trade your own money)... in the case of a fictitious championship, the results are likely to be skewed by a detachment of risks taken in the championship from the real-life risk preferences of each player...

  4. Contrary to what others have said, the PFG competition is NOT played with real money (although there is an entry fee of $250)...

    Turn $250 Into $25,000!
    From January 1 to March 31 PFG will be conducting a trading contest utilizing the CBOT's mini-sized Dow contract. Each trader starts with a $50,000 account balance in a simulated account [note: the $50,000 is NOT real money and may not be withdrawn!].

    Trades may only by in the mini-sized Dow but you can trade as much or as little as you want. The trader with the highest account balance at the conclusion of the contest wins!

    First prize is $25,000! Cash! Second Prize: $12,500! Third Prize: $7,500!

    Participation in the contest requires an entry fee of $250 at the time of registration. In order to register, review the rules of the contest, then register.

    LOL!

    Re: the PFG Best Emini Dow contest - there is a "bug" in their demo/simulator software that is being used to trade for the contest. You can open positions that far exceed your available margin. Totally bogus results.
